Love Forlorn

The whole world is not enough, For my overflowing sorrow to engulf. The firm mountains could not shake, By the mere quiver of an earthquake. When my love could in half cleave. Oh! My plight is too heavy to handle or believe. My heart burns like an inferno gyre Consuming itself in endless fire She says, “your love spills over the brim.” She’s mistaken ? she thinks, “It’s a whim!”. I could open my ribcage And let my heart utter the adage: “Love is too good to be true, When it fades away like a drop of dew.”
